Kung sino ang pumutak ay siyang nanganak. He who cackled is the guilty party. Magsama-sama at malakas, magwatak-watak at babagsak. United we are strong, divided we fall. Matibay ang walis, palibhasa’y magkabigkis. A broom is sturdy because its strands are tightly bound. Walang palayok na walang kasukat na tungtong. Every pot has a matching lid.

Ang lumalakad ng matulin kung matinik ay malalim And di-marunong mag-ipon walang hinayang magtapon Ang kawayan kung tumubo langit na matayog ang itinuturo; Ngunit kung masunod na ang anyo, Sa lupa rin ang yuko
